Who's going to challenge George Foreman, though? The man is a walking legend.

i read that he and Hulk Hogan had the same agent and the agent tried to give it to Hogan first.


Pretty sure Hogan was their first choice - not that Big George wasn't hot, but early 90s was like peak HH. Never heard the part about the same agent, but could be.

Honestly, I don't think any celebrity could have done a better job selling those grills - Foreman was a surly SOB back in the 70s, but by the time his second boxing career came around, he was an entirely new man (thanks to Jesus), and it was just a perfect storm.

Did anyone else notice that the boxing picture of Foreman is from a loss to Ali? Pathetic how they try to down everyone that stands up for Trump.

People loved his comeback...

Everyone loved George...I can remember people shelling out for his fights, just like they did for Tyson...we used to find sports bars that held them...

He's an American icon, unspoiled by the dredges of life's nastier side.

Well, Foreman did have lots of losses (5) and was knocked out many times (1).



I'm sure they couldn't find images from his few wins (76, including 5 successful title defenses, 3 of which while in his 40s).

I'd put him at least equal footing with numb nuts Sean Penn or Alec Baldwin.


I wouldn't ....I'd put him higher. He took his name recognition and celebrity and used it to sell things to people that they wanted.....I still have mine and it still works after 15 years.

Hulk ended up with some crap plastic shake mixer thing. They were giving those out at fundraisers when I was in middle school

Many of us are old enough to remember that the flag has always been important to George.

Fast forward to 5:40.

This is the beginning of why everyone loves George Foreman.

This was the 1968 Summer Olympics...right after episode with John Carlos and Tommie Smith.

He leakin'! He leakin'! The big Russian didn't want any more of big George.

At that point in his career, George was just a larger, stronger version of Rocky Marciano. He had a unique boxing style - none. "Which one the referee? 'Cause I'm going to kill the other motherfricker."
